[@felicee1993]

I think where the second incident happened isn't a place to overtake. The GT4 can just take one line through this corner.

[@Moelders109]

Exactly. Noticed Dave overtook the GT4s a number of times taking away their racing line and forcing them to take avoidance. The LMP3 can take multiple lines because of the aero, so the onus should be on the LMP3 to take the offline option when overtaking IMO... But tbh, Overtaking is so hard over the mountain in any cars, there's always going to be incidents and misunderstandings.

[@davecamyt]

I waited more than I overtook 👍

[@AlexCoenraadts]

In multiclass Sometimes both cars have to sacrifice a bit but nobody has that mind set apparently...

[@NE-Carp]

"Olie needs to get outside and stop playing videogames ... The nerd" That was the greatest catch phrase for a video yet... Great video, you always make it look so easy, I'm glad my PC is being fixed because I would have to try this combo and it would just frustrate the heck out of me. LOL Good racing and can't wait until the next video.

[@Grumakhai]

Dave, you know better. You drive GT4s and you know their lines. You also know what they're like once you commit to a corner. You can't expect them to just not drive their lines just because you're getting unlucky. And it's not their job to get out of the way. Part of the process of learning the LMP3, I suppose! It's funny how the mindset changes and how easily we all forget what it was like when we were on the other side of the argument. Always looking forward to your content! Catch you on the next one

[@davecamyt]

Yep, whatever class you're driving, it's always the others fault 😁

[@Grumakhai]

@@davecamyt We're all only looking at our own race at the time. It's natural. Keep being awesome and maybe I'll see you on track again. (I've been in races with you in the past, not this one)

[@TBolt1]

Entertaining race! No need to complain about traffic, guys - that’s multiclass racing and on a difficult, narrow track. More multiclass racing please, Dave.

[@nycsox987]

The GT4 will always drift across the track where you overtook him.. i think that was a bit gready on your part. You're a good driver but i hate people always blaming GT cars when trying to overtake them. You owned up but sometimes you just have to take the L. Bathurst is dangerous at the best of times.

[@davecamyt]

Frustration was probably setting in on my part, so a bit eager 👍 GT4 blame LMP, LMP blame GT4. Always the way 😁

[@nycsox987]

@@davecamyt Fair play mate. Ollie would've crucified me for defending a GT car 😁 Onto the next one. Can't get any worse can it? 😎

[@123MRJAMIE]

You cant go otuside the mclaren there Dave, for the GT4 to take that corner at racing speed they need the whole track. Unreasonable to expect him to lift for a car behind in my opinion.

[@davecamyt]

You've got to work together. Just like I did multiple times 👍

[@grippytires5405]

@@davecamytNot according to the rules. The GT4’s responsibility is to drive a predictable racing line which he did. It is your responsibility to make a clean overtake.

[@davecamyt]

Absolutely it is, I'm not debating that. However, I could have sent it so many times on so many people, but didn't. Like I said, it's all about working together. If everyone does that everyone finishes, simple. It is the responsibility of the slower car to facilitate an overtake. If I was the gt4 in that situation I would have taken a little speed off and let him though on the outside. That's the difference I guess between a 2k to a 5k driver. That last sentence sounds like I'm being a dick, but I'm really not 😁

[@DJ_NR6]

​@@davecamyt but it isn't. Let the slower classes just drive their racing line so as a faster car you can set up an overtake safely.

[@davecamyt]

And why do you think that? No need for name calling. We're not 12

[@smittyjones8755]

I watched this live on Ollie's stream the other day. He's got you on the brain ALL the time when y'all are in the same race lol. I'm guessing there's gotta be some history there.

[@Jansen115]

36:00 Please drive GT4 on this Track. There is no Chance not to go wide on this part...

[@davecamyt]

There are times in this race where I overtook gt4s I had to back off. That's what you got to do. Works both ways

[@dickdazzler8354]

100%. GT4 can't take stay right side through there

[@TheSnaveeelPlaysGames]

I understand what you’re saying, but if I was in that GT4, I would have known for certain that the LMP3 behind was going through that door and made room just in case. But like Dave said, they hit the curb which forced them wide. Any line a car takes, on any corner and on any track, can and should be controlled by the driver and not the characteristics of the circuit.

[@davecamyt]

Not wide open you cant

[@TheSnaveeelPlaysGames]

@@davecamyt That’s what I’m saying. If you’ve got a faster class behind you, you prepare, regardless of corner, that they might try and get through if there’s a gap

[@regibson23]

On the McLaren incident, passing on the outside at the exit is never a good move. Classic Vortex of Danger.

[@grippytires5405]

I don’t want to sound like a hater but that first corner incident looked like a border line intentional wreck. You almost dropped it on the kerb, then continued drifting left even when he was well and truly alongside you, then made zero effort to avoid contact.

[@davecamyt]

If you look at my webcam when it's happening I'm looking elsewhere for some reason. No idea what I was looking at. When I looked up he was across me 😳

[@KeyesRacing1]

Shout out from the USA Brother! Watched a lot of your videos as I just started iRacing with my first Sim Rig a few weeks ago. You’re making a great impact and helping to shape the Community. Just got my first Pole and 2 wins in the last two days! Appreciate all you do. 💯🔥🐉 And Bathurst is absolute Carnage!!!

[@davecamyt]

Thank you mate. Congrats on the pole 😁

[@maxverschlafen3583]

I love that flat face after you K.O ed that guy out of t1 😂

[@TheOnyxian]

"If I didn't have any bad luck, I'd have no luck at all" - sums up my iRacing season so far as well Dave 😞

[@BenAshley1977]

More of this kind of racing please, it was a blast to watch :)

[@specky4eyes742]

"Ollie needs to get outside and stop playing videogames...the nerd"Priceless.Great content again Dave. ps The Mclaren on that corner...not really an outside passing place.

[@Lars131]

An aggressive Dave for a change! It's not common. The one on the McLaren though... A bit stretched. Excellent pace dealing with difficult traffic!

[@davecamyt]

Yep, I said that was on me 😁

[@Lars131]

@@davecamyt I heard you at the end with a cooler head. 😁 Always reasonable. If only half the player base saw your videos to learn something... Keep up with your excellent work!

[@eastofmars6413]

I have been watching you for a while now. I just noticed what Mac Evad spells backwards. 😂

[@Velcrochicken1]

Great video Dave. Aim to overtake on the inside rather than outside of gt4s is my only unsolicitated advice.

[@icyleaf]

was in ur race and i messaged u before the race. always love your videos

[@zach.tempone]

Glad to see the LMP drivers in higher splits still drive like they're blind lol

[@-JackK2412]

I'm currently racing Dallara F3 on Bathurst so it was great to see you in an LMP on the same track! Love your videos pal, always a considerate but competitive racer 👍🏻

[@JustinRamey3]

Hi Dave! I sure have been missing out not being a member. Since I am recovering from a foot surgery, I have been binge watching all of your videos. Then boom a new one. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@davidontherailroad]

To be fair to Harrison, giving you space on that corner is far easier said than done. I wouldn't have anticipated you trying to pass there either.

[@claudioalegria1833]

I also think the incident on the gt4 is on you. If you look at the moment the McLaren decides to commit to his line (at corner entry) you're still not side by side. Driving a gt4 I would've assumed you were going to back off then and go for the pass after the corner. You can pass through there, although it's very difficult, but you need to be there before corner entry, to force the gt4 to take the narrower line. Otherwise the gt4 will be put in this position of either taking the normal line, or preemptively backing off and losing a ton of time without a clear sign that the overtake is going to happen, which I think is an unreasonable thing to expect from him. That being said rest of the race you were perfectly patient with all the moves, from a GT point of view, no complaints. It is very difficult with such a speed difference, even more so in a track like this, mistakes will happen as we're all amateurs and decisions need to be made in split seconds, it's all good.

[@davecamyt]

I said it was my fault at the end 😁

[@MrDedset]

Went about as expected. Full of that excellent carnage with all that traffic heading down the mountain. Good watch

[@geoffheard5768]

The traffic giveth...the traffic taketh away. This is the Word of the Steward.

[@manutdmaniathebest]

When in the race did Dave say 'Olie needs to get outside and stop playing videogames ... The nerd.'? Good racing Dave, you're an comedian too haha

[@OllieMoto]

I’ve been waiting for this video since watching the nerd Ollie’s live stream. Good work Dave 👍🏻

[@addos999]

a track with no run off area in its fast turns is terrifying in a car that relies so much on aerodynamic grip, and bathurst is one of the top 3 for that :P well driven dave, and dont be too hard on yourself for not perfecting it - theres a reason they dont run lmp2s and formula cars around bathurst in real life... everyone would die :P

[@felix6675]

cool they fixed the rpm bar for lmp3 in racelab.

[@r2rabbaddon]

that surely was some bad luck, but still a great race mate, love the content :)

[@davedeja]

New nickname... Downforce Dave. If Ollie hadn't pimped you at the start, that would have been you getting lucky with all those GT4 cars. Instead of getting beaten like a pinata.

[@MrMiniPilote]

Mac from the back and Downforce Dave? Thanks for the content.

[@hnakke]

Could you please share your camera settings for this car? I have the same monitor as you do. Been interested in the car but test drive always felt wrong with the inverted driving position...

[@johnhicks4359]

I just started practicing with the LMP,s this weekend, very different than an GT4 or 3.

[@keithclark1173]

that pedal under your right foot might help with wheel spin??? haha

Passing on the outside in the slower class's racing line will bite you. You are just hoping they saw you and will go off the throttle although it is not on them to do so.

[@jinglesmcgee7256]

Unluckiest guy at Bathurst was the guy in fixed last night who started P1 and died at the last turn before the back straight. The car does not want to brake or turn there on lap 1

[@MickBuell]

Question, how do you set your camera offset to the steering wheel?.......... I'd love to try this view for the GTP's

[@davecamyt]

Ctrl f12 to get the camera options and adjust in there 👍

[@MickBuell]

@@davecamyt tried it out.......... Worked 👍 Thank you

[@nycsox987]

Bathurst has unfortunately been a fekking nightmare for me..

[@ilzee_vk]

In my opinion second incident with the gt4 was on you. GT4 as you know from your own racing can't take that corner without going to the outside, without going out of their way to slow down and let you through - not something that lower class is supposed to do. But good race otherwise :)

[@davecamyt]

I shouldn't have to slow down to pass if those were the rules. It's multi class, frequent compromises are essential 😁

[@ilzee_vk]

@@davecamyt it's good to cooperate if both drivers lose less time that way, but in this case guy was committed to the line and there was no reasonable way for him to adjust it last moment. You have the downforce to try the move on the inside without compromising GT4 lines. Perhaps it's a matter of opinion but I've always seen the rule of thumb for lower class is to drive their lines predictably and not change them to allow faster class through, because it's more dangerous. Say you wanted to take the inside and the GT4 tried to "help" by opening the outside - you'd have a crash. But sticking to normal GT4 line, you are fully aware of available space and there are no surprises for anyone.

[@DaiZombi]

Hi Dave. Another cracking video. One question (might be jumping the gun here), but what happened to the steering wheel?

[@davecamyt]

The view for you guys wasn't great with the A pillar on the right, so moved the camera to the left so you could see more. That meant the steering wheel was off and looked stupid 😁

[@Cooberson]

When I grow up, I want to be just like Dave.

[@davecamyt]

@@bbogdanmircea I don't think so

Great race Dave that was entertainment and tense never change mate hey Ollie needs to stop playing video games and go outside he’s a nerd. And when that guy gets on about contact lol should have said move his butt then 😂

[@FruitLoop2020]

Mac Evad returns at t1 😅. But did Ollie not get a penalty as he overtook you before the green

[@FlemmeArt]

As a gt4 driver you're ruthless with traffic Dave 😂 That's why I always laugh when gt drivers are constantly criticizing proto drivers. In the end we are all the same 🤝 Lmp3 is a lot of fun at bathurst but adding gt4 in the mix is not, for me. Did one race and bailed to the lmp3 fixed.

[@davecamyt]

I thought I was quite patient 😁

[@uffffff]

2 dirty moves from you. idk why u are trying to sugarcoat something but its bs. the really sad part is even if you get reported nothing ll happen. iracing is protecting their streamers well.

[@HRacer52]

I think they were both his fault more than the other driver, but neither of those are protestable. Theyre both just racing incidents. Reports/protests arent really for mistakes during overtakes or during battles, theyre for intent wrecks, careless rejoins, blocking, etc. None of that is what happened here.

[@davecamyt]

Ok Mr Happy 😁
